December 12, 2019 – Vancouver, British Columbia – Dunnedin Ventures Inc. (the "Company" or “Dunnedin”) (TSX-V: DVI) today reports the successful completion of its first drill program at its 100% owned MPD copper-porphyry project in Southern British Columbia.

Dunnedin completed an initial Phase 1 drill program at MPD. Highlights include:

-          All drill holes intersected prospective sulphide-bearing, altered porphyritic host rocks

-          The program was completed on time and below budget and the Company exceeded its diamond drilling target of 1,500 metres by completing 1,766 metres in three separate holes

-          All core was sampled over 3 metre intervals and 657 rock samples (including blanks, standards and duplicates) have been delivered to ALS Canada Ltd. in North Vancouver, BC for preparation and final analysis

-          Assay results are expected in January

-          Dunnedin will use these maiden drill results to help define the next phase of drilling at MPD in 2020 The Company has a multi-year, area-based exploration permit for the MPD Project authorizing up to 18 drill pads and mechanical trenching in 2019 and 2020

Claudia Tornquist, President and CEO of Dunnedin said, “With this first program Dunnedin has successfully confirmed our exploration thesis that the MPD project overlies a large porphyry system. We are encouraged to see promising mineralization in all drill holes and are looking forward to receiving the assay results in January. We were fortunate to have favourable conditions during our first drill program at MPD and were able to drill more than planned and still remain below budget. I would like to thank our technical team and local contractors for a well executed program. We will now focus on our exploration plans for 2020 which include further drilling at our MDP project in British Columbia and an initial exploration program at our 100% owned copper porphyry Mohave project in Arizona.”
